Pulitzer prize-winning composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich gives us a beautiful quintet for alto saxophone and string quartet, perfect for serious saxophonists looking to expand their recital repertoire. Zwilich's Quintet for Alto Saxophone and String Quartet was commissioned by a consortium comprised of the Arizona Friends of Chamber Music, the Chamber Music Society of Detroit, Fontana Chamber Arts, and Michigan State University. The full score and solo saxophone part are provided in this publication, and individual string quartet parts can be obtained separately by custom print from Merion Music (144-40513P). For advanced players. Duration: 20'.
I’m the kind of composer who has a “wish list” of works I’m eager to write, but on occasion someone suggests an idea not on my “list” that I find immediately exciting and that leads me in an unexpected direction.xa0 My Quintet for Alto Saxophone and String Quartet was inspired by such a suggestion.xa0 In honor of the diverse musical ideas stimulated by Jean-Paul Bierny’s suggested medium, I dedicate the piece to him.My ideal concept for chamber music is a conversation among equals, a conversation that is unique to the parties involved.xa0 In this instance the alto sax brings a luscious singing quality and a certain sassy attitude to the mix, while the strings offer their amazing agility and variety of articulation, color and phrasing.xa0 One of the great pleasures in writing (or playing or listening to) chamber music is that each player can be a virtuoso soloist one moment and a sensitive partner the next, and this “electricity” becomes an agent of musical form.My Quintet for Alto Saxophone and String Quartet is in three movements: the first is slow (quarter note = 66), the second is fast (quarter note = 132), and the third is both slow and fast (quarter note = 60; 126; 120). The work was commissioned by the Arizona Friends of Chamber Music (sponsors: the “Brussels Sprouts”: Ghislaine Polak, Richard De Roeck, Jean-Paul Bierny), The Chamber Music Society of Detroit, Fontana Chamber Arts, and Michigan State University.
